42FileChecker

42FileChecker is a tiny bash script developped at 42 school for testing and checking the files according to the rules of the subjects.

The script is designed as a reminder:

• author file terminated by a Line Feed
• count and files name
• code's standard
• required and forbidden functions
• macro definitionsl
• static variables & functions declarations
• makefile rules

Extra tests may also be performed:

• memory leaks detection
• speed test comparison
• Unit Tests

Complete unit tests are handled through external frameworks whose sources are automatically downloaded, configured and updated in background when you run the script:

• moulitest, developed by @yyang42 and other contributors
• libft-unit-test, developed by @alelievr (for libft project only)
• fillit_checker, developed by @anisg (for fillit project only)
• Maintest, developed by @QuentinPerez and other contributors

install & launch

git clone https://github.com/jgigault/42FileChecker ~/42FileChecker
cd ~/42FileChecker && sh ./42FileChecker.sh

You may also want to set an alias to run it from everywhere, even in your project path. Add this line of code at the end of your shell initialization file (e.g.: ~/.zshrc):

alias 42FileChecker='sh ~/42FileChecker/42FileChecker.sh'
